.................................................................
The Poetry Branch has been in limbo since the prior hostess left FreeRepublic April 15th 2003. We've since learned that said hostess has lost her posting privilege. That being the case, and Jim Robinson having given his ok, I wanted to renew the thread.
FreeRepublic is blessed with many fine poets, and we look forward to seeing their poems posted on FR once again. There were many non-poet FReepers who visited the Poetry Branch for the camaraderie; we hope they will return.
I would like to invite everyone to visit and relax at Poetry and Potpourri. Hopefully you will renew old acquaintances for chatting, sharing jokes, telling stories, posting cartoons, etc. Everyone needs a place to escape from the everyday news, make Poetry and Potpourri that place.

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THE MOUTH OF THE SOUTH
1. Never kick a fresh cow chip on a hot day.
2. There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works.
3. Don't worry about bitin' off more than you can chew. Your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think.
4. If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.
5. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
6. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.
7. Never smack a man who's chewin' tobacco.
8. It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.
9. Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut.
10. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
11. Always drink upstream from the herd.
12. Never drop your gun to hug a grizzly.
13. If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.
14. When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson.
15. When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else.
16. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier 'n puttin' it back.
17. Always take a good look at what you're about to eat. It's not so important to know what it is, but it's real important to know what it was.
18. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.
19. Never miss a good opportunity to shut up.
20. If you are ever lost in the woods, the quickest way to find your way out is to find a set of armadillo tracks. They'll lead you straight to the highway.

I have been reading every chance I get and STILL can't catch up with you all! But I want to say that I VERY MUCH appreciate your pinging me because otherwise I wouldn't have been aware of this fun new poetry thread.
At my request, JustAmy has added me to her list. I wish the thread and all of you the best of luck.
To: JustAmy; Billie; ST.LOUIE1; MistyCA; Mama_Bear
I received this in my email today. It's not poetry, but it's *fun*:
26 THINGS YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED BY MIDDLE AGE:
1. If you're too open-minded, your brains will fall out.
2. Don't worry about what people think; they don't do it very often.
3. Going to church/temple/mosque doesn't make you religious any more than
standing in a garage makes you a mechanic.
4. It ain't the jeans that make your butt look fat.
5. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.
8. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.
9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite Government program.
10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.
11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.
12. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.
13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.
14. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.
15. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.
16. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.
17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist
change places.
18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.
19. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks
before you need it.
20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.
21. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake
when you make it again.
22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.
23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.
24. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.
25. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried
before.
26. Men age like fine wine, women age like milk.

Thank you, Oki. That is the purpose of pinging, to let people know about events. Few have objected to being pinged, and many have stated they are happy to have been. I still have a poem rattling around in my brain about that subject! :) Please stay and enjoy yourself. :)
